Lord Howe seamount chain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lord Howe seamount chain is a Miocene seamount chain on northern Lord Howe Rise, Zealandia. The chain is defined by coral-capped guyots, extends to the north for 1000 km (600 mi), most likely the result of the Indo-Australian Plate moving northward over a stationary hotspot.
